Re: Next version of Windows Messenger

Let's clear that last post up, before anyone twists it out of context.

They changed Remote Assistance in Vista so that it is NOT dependent on
having Windows
Messenger present on the system. This is in contrast to Windows XP, where
Remote Assistance is dependent on having Windows Messenger present on the
system.

Does this mean remote assistance will not work with Vista or will it be
part of messenger live ?

Greetings Karin,

I'm afraid Windows Messenger has ceased development a few years ago and
the team no longer exists. Some of the team migrated over to the
Office Communicator client, which is the client devoted for Live
Communications Server, others are now part of the MSN Messenger team.

Vista will not contain an IM client, but Windows Messenger 5.x will
install. However, just to be clear, there will not be another version
of the Windows Messenger client. Which really is too bad.

Does anyone know, what is the name (code name or version number) of the
next
Windows Messenger version to be released? Note, not the MSN messenger
but the
"business friendly version".
Will there be a new version maybe attached to Vista?
And also, when will the next version be available?

Thanx!
